As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
I don’t gamble anymore but if I did I would be putting at least £100 on Valencia going through. I think they’ll score 3 or 4.
Before halftime....but then, with the resolute, determined spirit & resolve ingrained in this formidable side we will roar back in the 2nd half with a Xhaka hat trick (he's proved time & again he's the man for the big occasion) making the last 2 nights of football pale by comparison
You do know that a Xhaka hat-trick is conceding a penalty, passing to the opposition on the edge of our box, and stop tracking a runner into our penalty area for them to score.
but also,
I’m at the point of believing that if Xhaka plays in a match, then we lose. With him on the pitch, it really is like playing with 10 against 12.
I’ve got no idea at all what’s going to happen tonight. Who could possibly know when our shower are involved. If they get an early goal, I think we’ll be fucked.
If we DO meet Chelsea in the final, and Chelsea win - do we still get a CL spot by default?
No mate.
who does it go to?
The major nations get 4places, the only way it can be 5 is if the winners of the ch lge or europa are outside the top4 ie manure a couple of years back.Atletico won it last yr and the place didn't go to Marseille i think it goes down the coefficient route,some country lower down will get a team moved forward a round or into the group's..it's all bollocks cos that shower from Fulham will probably win it anyway
“You have your last game, a European final and, if it is against Chelsea, an emotional attachment to the opposition team. It’s probably a bit too much … but if it happens, it happens. It’s the way it is.”
I wouldn't want him anywhere near the starting line up if we get to the final and it's against Chelsea......

I read the headline of the article.....I agree with the russian's sentiments and wish he had done more to prevent it
